Swim Championships - Swimmers should plan to arrive by 7:00am. Parking will be challenging. The grassy area of the parking lot will be reserved for coaches, officials and event organizers. All cars parked in the main parking lot will be there for the day. In order to park as many cars as possible, you will not be allowed to take your car out of the lot once parked. If you need to be able to leave at any point during the day, do not park in the main parking lot. Utilize Oak Street and the side streets to park your car. There will be a designated drop off area where you will be able to drop your swimmer and gear near the pool entrance and then leave to park. If you have younger children, plan on having one adult to drop at the entrance with your child/children and gear and the other to park the car.

Pool Closed During Championships - will open late afternoon/early evening after championships end.
